FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do they come back? Yes they do! Getting your boomerang to return requires an understanding of wind direction and the proper throwing technique. Each boomerang is unique with a personality all its own.

Where should I throw? Open areas away from trees, buildings, telegraph poles and especially other people. A good rule of thumb is to allow a throwing radius of twice the distance the boomerangs travels. Once you become comfortable with your boomerang, you'll find that you'll be able to throw it in a smaller space.

What age are boomerang throwers? All ages, almost! We recommend boomerangs for ages 10 and up. Adult supervision is recommended for children 10-13 years old.

What about left-handed throwers? If you're a left-handed thrower, you'll need a left handed boomerang. Left-handed boomerangs fly in a clockwise circle while right-handed boomerangs fly in a counterclockwise circle.

SAFETY
Only throw if you have plenty of room. Throwers should always be aware of other people in their throwing area. People can appear out of nowhere and walk unknowingly into the flightpath of your boomerang. In addition, we recommend that throwers wear eye protection, particularly when catching a returning boomerang.
